Adolf Hitler Giving a Speech, 1931

Timeline of History

In a speech in the Hamburg Hanseatenhalle about the upcoming referendum about the military occupation of the Rhineland and single-list election of Nazi candidates for the new Reichstag, Adolf Hitler asserts essentially that God helps those who help themselves. And Adolf Hitler does intend to help himself to an awful lot.

Near the end of Hitler's speech he says:

"The aim is to document the indissoluble bond joining the Movement of the regime, the Party, and the German Volk to its leadership!

Hence today, my German Volk, I call upon you: stand behind me with your faith! Be the source of my power and my faith.

Do not forget: he who does not abandon his principles in this world will not be abandoned by the Almighty either! The Almighty will always help those who help themselves; He will always show them the way to their rights, their freedom and thus to their future.

And this is the reason why you, German Volk, are going to the polls on March 29."
